A "must" for every investor's library
Wow-this book really simplifies the stock selection process. I'm an experienced investor who has lost money in pure momentum stocks. I see this guy on CNBC and Bloomberg quite a bit and he seems to know his stuff. I agree with Standard & Poor's great endorsement "Magnet Investing provides an insightful look into the stock selection process. It will be a great boost to professional investors, ...

Beating the Dow (Revised and Updated)

Michael B. O'higgins, John Downes

Collins, 2000

Great system
This book simply suggests listing the 30 Dow components and then buying the lowest price stocks in the group that also has the best yield (Dividend %).You skip the lowest priced because that one probably does have issues versus being a value. You can either put your $5000 in the second to lowest priced with the best yield, or the 2nd-6th stocks, or the 2nd to 11th stocks that are the lowest ...

Magnet Investing 2nd edition-great book
I decided to buy Magnet Investing after seeing Mr. Kimmel on several CNBC and CNN segments. This guy knows his stuff and his book reflects it. He has a trademarked stock selection process, and the stocks it picked in the first edition of his book returned 90% in 12 months. This book is filled with information for all levels of investors and provides lots of tables that give a historical ...

Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (Lynn Sonberg Books)

208 reviews
Peter D. Schiff, John Downes

Wiley, 2007

If you don't like this book, you probably don't understand economics
I've noticed quite a few reviews that refer to this book as "self promotion", or "an advertisement for his services". These individuals are unwittingly divulging their anti-capitalist views. What is wrong with a person who is confident in what he believes and the services he provides? He is offering value for value. If these people believe there is something wrong with making money, why don't ...
